If you can't find baby artichokes, use four regular (globe) artichokes. Trim and steam them, then quarter them lengthwise.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon fennel seed
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 leek, trimmed and thinly sliced, washed well and drained (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
12 baby artichokes (about 2 pounds), steamed and halved or quartered lengthwise
1 bunch arugula, leaves torn if large (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add fennel seed; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to pot; swirl to coat. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt; coat with flour and shake off excess. Add half of chicken to pot. Cook, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add leek, garlic, and pepper flakes. Add vinegar and 1/2 cup broth, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Add remaining 1 1/2 cups broth, 3 cups water, fennel seed, chicken with any accumulated juices, and artichokes. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until chicken is tender, about 10 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Divide arugula among 4 shallow bowls, ladle in soup, and serve.

I'm not a big fan of artichokes, but I really enjoyed this soup. The artichokes were not overpowering and they added a nice texture.

The soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped spinach and it was delicious.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the artichokes added a nice touch of bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the carrots and celery.
